Chicken Quesadillas

Makes: 4 tortillas (2 whole quesadillas)

Ingredients:

  • 4 Whole wheat Mission Carb Balance tortillas
  • 1 can Swanson white meat chicken breast chunks
  • Red Gold petite diced tomatoes
  • Velveeta Shreds Mexican cheese blend
  • Sour Cream (for dipping, optional)

Equipment: stove burner or griddle or cooktop, nonstick frying pan, spatula for flipping

Directions:

In a nonstick skillet, place one or two tortillas (depending on the size of the skillet).

Sprinkle cheese on HALF of one or each tortilla.

Turn the burner on to medium.

Open AND DRAIN can of chicken. Chop it with a knife. Doing it in the can is fine. Sprinkle chicken on HALF of one or each tortilla.

Sprinkle tomatoes on top of that.

Sprinkle more cheese on top of that.

Fold tortilla(s) over so it makes a semi circle.

Cook until cheese is melted.

Turn the heat up to halfway between medium and high to crisp up the tortilla(s). When sufficiently crispy, flip using a spatula. Be careful not to scratch your pan. Toast the other side. Remove from heat, turn off the burner, cut each tortilla into thirds, and serve with sour cream for dipping.

Modifications:

Feel free to add onions, black olives, or any other ingredients you like at the stage where the tortilla is still open.
